During the month of April, I’ll be participating in the Blogging From A to Z Challenge. My theme for the month is Storytime Plans From A to Z. Each plan will have eight stories as well as four songs, fingerplays or rhymes to match the theme! As you can see, I’ll try and attribute where I found all of this fun (and often you can find it in multiple places). My goal is to make storytime planning a little easier on myself in the future and to make storytime planning for other librarians easy as well!

“Read, Read, Read a Book”
*Harris County Public Library (found on Storytime Katie)
Read, read, read a book,
Travel anywhere,
Worldwide, you decide,
A book will take you there.
Read, read, read a book,
Beginning to the end,
What a way to spend the day,
A book’s a special friend!

“Five Little Books”
Five little books at the library
Five little books as great as can be
Along comes (name) with their library card
To take one home and read

“If You’re a Reader and You Know It”
If you’re a reader and you know it, clap your hands
If you’re a reader and you know it, clap your hands
If you’re a reader and you know it and you really want to show it
If you’re a reader and you know it, clap your hands
(shoot hooray, read a book)
